Winter storm prompts early dismissal for state workers

Published January 02. 2014 2:05PM

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that state employees will be dismissed early today due to inclement weather. The dismissals will begin at 3 p.m. and will be staggered every 15 minutes to lessen traffic.

“Given the impending snow and the severe cold, I've asked all executive agencies to enact their early dismissal plans,” Governor Malloy said in a statement. “Private sector companies may want to consider similar plans, so that we are not bogged down during the usual evening rush, right when the snow is forecasted to pick up.”
